Full integration with Microsoft Project is delivered, allowing users to create projects,
maintain project plans, schedule resources and collect progress. The easy-to-use
integration provides a visual indicator keeping the user informed of the progress of the
synchronization process, and any issues encountered during the synchronization
process are clearly identified, along with recommendations for corrective action.
Mass changes can be made across a selected set of tasks and resources, adjusting
quantities, costs or rates by a percentage, to minimize data entry. Budgets can be
edited by tasks, or by focusing on resources, and by using a curve to spread resource
load assignments. Budget data entry can also be streamlined with personalized layouts
including the option to budget periodically, and users who prefer to manipulate their
budget or forecast in spreadsheets can work the way they want, with a smooth
integration to Microsoft Excel.
As remaining work estimates are captured during progress entry, project managers can
immediately see the impact of current and remaining work estimates on the forecast,
helping them evaluate the project status more easily and proactively take corrective
actions earlier in the cycle. Finally, project progress can be validated using analytical
tools to forecast the final outcome of the project, thus completing the project financial
planning and control process.
Oracle’s Project Cost Collection Center delivers a common standard for project cost
collection across all applications, through a consistent user interface for collecting costs
across other Oracle Cloud and third party applications, which is easily configurable by
end-users to meet business needs. Whether capturing costs for purchase requisitions,
purchase orders, expense reports or supplier invoices, the cost capture elements are
defined consistently across applications, while providing the flexibility to support the
needs of each individual document type, for example whether costs captured may be
billable or capitalizable.
Oracle Project Financials Cloud allows project accountants to work the way they like to
work and is optimized for their needs. Integration with Microsoft Excel provides a familiar
interface for capturing project costs with a smooth integration and data transfer to the
application, or project costs can be automatically imported from third-party systems.
Out-of-the-box delivered integration with Microsoft Project supports the pushing of
actual costs collected in Oracle PPM Cloud to the project plan in Microsoft Project.
Business user-configured rules control and regulate the types of expenditure which can
be charged against a project and are easily managed using optimized user interfaces.
Additionally, cost rate schedules for both labor and non-labor resources can be easily
maintained through a single simple user interface.
